New Nuggets acquisition Nick Young admitted that being forced to watch the start of the NBA season from home was humbling.
After winning a title with Golden State last season, the 11-year veteran wasn’t brought back and was relegated to working out in Los Angeles on his own.
“It’s humbling being at home just chilling, watching TV, playing with the kids,” Young, 33, said at shootaround Monday after the Nuggets announced his signing via hardship injury relief exception. “I missed it a little bit.”
Denver, down starters Will Barton (hip), Gary Harris (hip) and Paul Millsap (broken toe), called Young on Friday, but the Nuggets first kicked the tires on bringing him in a month ago.
